What We Think

Anatomy of a Fall manages to sidestep most of Hollywood’s usual woke pitfalls, focusing on character and moral uncertainty instead of agenda-pushing. A rare example of modern cinema putting story first.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film is driven by character, tension, and ambiguity rather than leaning into identity-first storytelling. Its focus is on the complex dynamics within a family and a legal drama, rather than pressing modern ideological agendas. Representation is present but does not override the narrative.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

Themes of masculinity, family, and truth are explored in a nuanced way. While it doesn’t champion traditional roles, it doesn't go out of its way to undermine them either. The film prefers to examine moral ambiguity rather than preach modern ideals or attack cultural foundations directly.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The film avoids cartoonish villainization of alternative viewpoints. Legal, personal, and gender perspectives are treated with reasonable balance, making room for complexity. There is no heavy-handed ideological consensus among the characters; debate and doubt are central to the plot.
